Yep. I agree. Your HDD has gone poop. Kazaa fragments your drive SO fast that if you use it alot you should defrag at LEAST once a week. I defragged on Sunday one week and by Wendsday I was already 30% fragmented!!
BTW, for $2500 you could build the bomb system. Really nothing you couldnt do with that money. Prolly have a grand left over and still have top of the line right now. I know you can buy a P4 2.53Ghz chip for about 700 or so, mobo for around2-300. Yeah, you could make a bomb system with that cash.
Freezing didn’t work, tapping didn’t work, dropping didn’t work, and taking the offending drive and tossing it off a bridge probably won’t work either, so I gave up on trying to extract data from it.
I’m using a small, cheap HD right now just to get things up and running for the time being, and I’m looking at getting either an AlienWare Hive-Mind or a loaded Dell Dimension…Thanks to all of you who offered suggestions regarding the HD problem!
